This shoot was difficult because it was during a ‘live’ performance in front of few thousand people at a outdoor summer festival. The band members were constantly moving and the lights were always changing color, direction, and intensity.
Getting a great photo was a sequence of steps and patience.
First, we had to ‘visualize’ a spot on the floor where we anticipated the talent would move to which would give us the background we desired. Then we would get into ‘our’ position, ‘compose’ the shot, adjust the camera and take a ‘test’ shot.
